Joe, Let me first apologize for my intemperate reply to your statement about "anything else is just a light." I'm sure if I had taken a bit more time in replying I could have come up with a much better way to say 'I think you're full of it' than "patently absurd." <g> One of the really nice things about AutoCAD is that it is exceptionally programable and therefore there are usually several different ways to accomplish similar things with it. If AME suits your working methodology, and you believe it's the best way to model architecture, go for it. I just object when this opinion is presented as 'my way is the only way', when, in fact, we know it isn't even a _good_ way most of the time. Now, in your other messages today, you are getting dangerously close to an even higher level of arrogance when you imply your architecture is somehow a "true" architecture, and those architects who use tools other than your chosen tool are creating a lesser level of 'extruded, cardboard architecture'. the sake of creating good architecture… I'm sure all us licensed architects out here know _exactly_ what you are saying… Let me say, politely, and after due consideration of how to say it nicely, and with a _big_ smile: I think you're full of it, Joe. <bg> Take care, Michael
